Muddy rocks (in a blues kinda way, of course!). Just curious what some of the favorites of the Yahoo community are.
Thanks!

Songs? Thats a hard one. Honey Bee, I'm Ready, Hoochie Coochie Man, Long Distance Call, I Got My Mojo Workin, I'm A Man,...I could go on but I like them all. Chicago blues is my favorite blues genre and Muddy rules that style.
I'll tell you one thing though. My all time favorite blues album is Muddy Waters And Friends - Fathers And Sons. Thats also among my five all time favorite albums. The other four are Minnie Ripertons first two, A Chicago 60s rock band The Cryan Shames - A Scratch In The Sky, and maybe The Allman Brothers - Live At The Fillmore East.

I loved all of Muddy's recordings, yet when I had to %. a small handfull they had be: i can not be chuffed long Distance call (stay) Louisiana Blues Mannish Boy Nineteen Years previous You Shook Me Hoochie Koochie guy She strikes Me Champagne And Reefer can not Get No Grindin' have been given My Mojo Workin' Blow Wind Blow Muddy had one in all those heavy presence no person ought to truly persist with and upstage him. He continuously had large bands backing him. He replaced into relatively between the huge touchstones of blues song, no rely if acoustic or electric.

There are so many of Muddy's releases I consider my favorites, that I was going to try to hold it to my Top Ten. Then, well... I remembered, "Mine goes to 11."
"Long Distance Call" (the live version from the "Fathers and Sons" LP is my favorite. Incredible assemblage of musicians: Otis Spaan, Paul Butterfield, Michael Bloomfield, "Duck" Dunn, Sam Lay...)
"I Can't be Satisfied" aka "I Be's Troubled" (Way cool slide riff. The original recording probably reigns supreme; but the much later version with Johnny Winter from "Hard Again" has a great vibe as well.)
"Catfish Blues" aka "Rolling Stone" (Yes, that's where they got the idea for their band's name too)
"She's Nineteen Years Old" (Practically the story of Muddy's life! hehe)
"Floyd's Guitar Blues" (Just plain ol' good guitar work there)
"Blow Wind Blow" (Nothing says Chicago Blues better to me than that one.)
"Mannish Boy" (Muddy's answer to Bo Diddley)
"Louisiana Blues" (Classic Delta style Muddy)
"Standing Around Crying" (Stone Blues, baby!)
"Baby Please Don't Go" (Turn Your Lamp Down LOW)
"I'm Ready" (Bouncin', Chicago style!)
God, there's such a rich catalog the man left for us, I could list another 20 or 30 favorites. I didn't even include "Hoochie Coochie Man", "Honey Bee", "Copper Brown", "Can't Lose What You Never Had", "Forty Days and Forty Nights", "I've Got my Mojo Workin' "....
CDs you NEED?:
The Chess Box Set, Fathers and Sons, Complete Plantation Recordings, At the Newport Jazz Festival, Hard Again, I'm Ready, Folk Singer... after that, you'll need the rest of them.

I am Ready!
It's a song that has a point of view!
Sung with a conviction of "no brag just the facts"
and certainly in the deep delta vein of laying it out
and laying it down!
"I got an axe handle pistol on a graveyard frame
That shoot tombstone bullets, wearin' balls and chain
I'm drinkin' TNT, I'm smokin' dynamite
I hope some screwball start a fight
'Cause I'm ready, ready as anybody can be
I'm ready for you, I hope you're ready for me!"
No nonsense no bullshit straight ahead posting of one man's warning about what will happen to anyone that ***** with him!
Best dam blues tune ever written about the posibility of
malviolence if you'd even think of doublecrossing the wrong man...and Muddy...he was a MAN!
And the next verses make that very clear to all the women ...he wasn't shootin' blanks either! C*ck sure and a roosters strut this song is an anthem of a confident man who is sure about just who he is!
Bad *ss bluesman? maybe? even though they say he was a very gentle soul who rather than a night of double fisted drinking (ok he did some of that too!) what he really liked to do was eat ice cream ! He loved to snack on a strange brew of black walnut ice cream (a gallon) and mix a tall grape NeHi soda in with it !
Sounds wierd but I tried it ...and I likem too! I say we name it a "Muddy Waters Freeze!"
Muddy the bad *ss .... had a sweet tooth.. and a killer smile and a twinkle in his eye!!
